Help! How do I color correct an area of a video?

Hey
IM new to after effects cs4. I did a video time of heaven. However, heaven is high, and you don't really see very well clouds. I would like to change the 'levels' of the sky but not the buildings at the bottom of the video. While half of the video will be on the subject color correction. How can I do this? Thank you!

The key is simple:

  • Create an adjustment layer.
  • Draw a mask on the adjustment layer.
  • Apply the effect of the correction of the colors for the adjustment layer.

The devil is in the details. For example, if you need animate the mask, you'll have to do some Rotoscoping.

Here's a video that shows how to do that in a case where the element as corrected color is moving:

It's actually a matter of very basic composition, so I highly recommend that you start at the beginning and work your way through the didactic start-up.

  • How to copy color correction?

    Does anyone know how to copy the settings of a .bmp to a clip color correction in Premiere Elements?  The .bmp is a still shot of the clip with one of my friends for me.

    As to the BMP color correction has been performed outside PE, you may have some difficulties. There are no attributes for copy and paste attributes. According to the image, you might get lucky with the existing color effect. I would do a full color Correction on an adjacent Clip (to the BMP) and when we got close, Rt-click on this item and choose copy, then leaving, all the other Clips and fact Rt-click to paste attributes.

    Unless the lighting was the same for all the Clips, I wouldn't use automatic color.

    Good luck

  • Download Helper - how to download and save files .wmv WITHOUT the video being downloaded reading on screen?

    Windows 7 Pro
    Latest Version of Firefox
    Latest Version of Download Helper
    Windows Media Player and VLC are installed

    When I download a video file (.wmv, usually) the video starts to play on the screen of the monitor prior to my being able to use Download Helper to download the video and save it on the hard drive. This generally translates the video stopping and playing and stopping the process of download because of the speed of download available. There is never any problem with the final download hard disk.

    Today I installed the latest version of Firefox and Download Helper on another computer.
    Windows 7
    Latest Version of Firefox
    Latest Version of Download Helper
    Windows Media Player (not) is installed

    Downloaded the same .wmv file you downloaded above and the video started to play on the screen of the monitor. Download Helper has allowed me to download the file on the disk hard WITHOUT constantly tuned to the video start/stop/start/stop etc.

    Which option (in which program) would allow playback of the video to be turned on and off all by downloading the .wmv file?

    Thank you.

    Once the download has started, you can go to another web page. The
    Download must be a separate function.

  • Lumetri slows down the encoding of color correction more "obsolete."

    Based on my own informal tests, I notice that Lumetri effects on an element in a sequence slows down the process of encoding significantly compared to the same general objective realized with effects of correction of the so-called color "obsolete". Other messages on the forum seem to confirm this.

    I guess the older "out-of-date" color correction effects are far from obsolete. Looks more Adobe innovates and push this crowd of material premium to their last, Lumetri, but that the older effects are more obsolete than obsolete, probably to be there for a long time... iow, use them as you wish for you will hit all compat issues in the foreseeable future.

    Is that what that sounds right?

    My goal by asking is to better align myself as a user of first... my tendency is to take the final product as user recommendations, but that can be a trap when it is really a big innovative push who sometimes material/performance hits that make it unrealistic for all users.

    I have a portable old 5 year, the Sony Vaio VPCF215FX w/6 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540 M, 1 TB SSD.  I am able to do, but I really need to think intelligently avoiding external USB drives, using smart rendering, etc. When I tried an experiment with older color effects, I saw a significant reduction in the encoding time (General of my test described below). For this reason, I'm stepping back and thinking that the push 'use Lumetri' everything is beautiful for those who really need, want, and also have the material that can reasonably be taken in charge, but maybe not for someone like me, at least if I can avoid using older effects and with all the same. I just can't justify Lumetri in some cases where it slows down encoding medium.

    It is not that my hw is unable to use it but when I can use older effects and get a nice discount time coding for my not pro use, seems useful to avoid the Lumetri currently, until the upgrade hw or something. I wanted to just check-in here on the forum because everything above is me in a vacuum, I felt ready to hear some voices from the community on my point of view.

    Oh, my test...

    Create two sequences, each with the same single element from the same ~ 60 second clip of Canon EOS 70 d (ALL-I, 1920 x 1080, 23.976 FPS, MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, VBR in.) Container MOV), where each sequence has the following effects of color...

    Seq1-UsingLumetri uses the following color effects:

      • Lumetri #1 (primary): globally adjust contrast/tone/WB Correction of basic and secondary HSL to affect parts of the installation image.
      • Lumetri #2 (secondary): none other than the Secondary to affect an object moving on tracks with a circular mask.

    Seq2-NonLumetri uses the following color effects:

      • The fast color corrector: adjust overall contrast/tone/WB (identical to what Lumetri No. 1 above is without its Secondary).
      • #1 RGB color corrector: Color Correction secondary only to affect certain parts of the image (the highest Lumetri #1 only secondary HSL what).
      • #2 RGB color corrector: secondary color Correction only affect an object moving on tracks with a circular mask (what does the #2 above Lumetri).

    I coded then everyone if above with such parameters as input media, none made smart (because I want to see encoding time with effects) and out of type, etc. The result was that Seq1-Lumetri took about 225 seconds, while Seq2-NonLumetri took about 150 seconds, about 50% more time when using Lumetri on the same ~ 60 second clip entry.

    Note, part of the reason why I'm here is to ask my question above one, sort of general/summary, but it is also based on my not not having seen a single Lumetri color correction tutorial that describes these nuances... check in shades that seem to be essential for efficient use of the product by someone like me. I want to know about Lumetri, that's fine, but I also really want to know how to use the product together more effectively... to do this, seems to me, should not take account of the effects of color more older 'obsolete '. I want to at least know if there is agreement, or if I could be missing something here.

    Thank you!

    "Legacy" color tools more elderly are simpler "peripheral" in the code if I understand and don't work... especially... but as has been clearly established by colorists, especially if you do anything with the "" range"in the young or 3-way controls, you can get weird and very... results not correct not...

    That said, if you stick to their tools without using the modifiers of the range and not to push things too far, they work for the most part, kind of like what you would expect.

    Thus, on this laptop old of yours, stick to the Legacy tools is probably a good thing. And works very well for you. If you move up to a more recent material, you probably want to look more like the Lumetri Panel.

    Currently, I am working with the help of a mixture of Lumetri for the 'main' ranking, but using 3-way & RGB secondary additional & such.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2015 - application of clip and rendering (three-way) color correction

    -Every tutorial I see said: 'Drag the clip on the timeline and drag the effect to the element' - and in fact, when I do that, the clip changes color, indicating that the effect has been applied, I guess. But then the color correction controls do not seem to enable editing. I guess I sort of myself painted in a corner UI by freezing the arrangement of the components (or something - have no idea and don't hit FWIW, no button or options which do not seem to have the effect of blocking the UI) so that the color correction controls are hidden. I know it sounds like a silly problem, but I would greatly appreciate a clue, if you have any suggestions to offer.

    If you have your clip on the timeline and apply the color corrector effect three way, once you have dragged the effect to the clip with the clip still highlighted (selected) on the timeline, click the effect options panel.

  • How the color correction?

    I have the official training book, but it's not much help with this.  All I want to do is correct color my sequence.  I selected all the clips because they are of the same lighting and camera set up.  I want to correct the colors them all at once.  So I go to effects and select "fast color corrector" and dragged to my sequence.  After doing all the clips have tab a little "FX" on them.  Then I go to the source monitor Panel and click on the control of the effects, and I see the color wheel and the controls for "fast color corrector.  But the right hand side that I see mentions the still image that was left in the source monitor before get me to that effect.  So I can color correct this alone, but the settings that I realize only applies to the still this picture.  How can I ask the fast color corrector to a sequence in the timeline?

    to apply a color correction to the entire clips or multiple clips at once, you can use an adjustment layer. How to use setting in Premiere Pro - YouTube layers so all the clips are basically the same, so you can color correct the and apply a 'look' to this adjustment layer. If some of the clips need to work extra, separated from the rest, you can always apply a color correction effect directly to this clip to adjust it.

  • How can I do this kind of color correction?

    Hi all

    I'm working on a project and I need an original décor. I would like to know how to do a color correction, so my white wall resembles that darker wall "bluish". I tried with some plug-ins as Mojo and Magic Bullet Looks, but I'm not good at color correction, and there are opportunities so I don't know how to set it up properly. If you have an idea, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

    You can start with a solid color on the background and experiment with as multiply or overlay blending modes to add color and texture.  It is highly unlikely that there you will be able to reproduce the appearance of your image for example by simply correcting the color on a single layer. Blend modes are usually the key to transform the banal background in something spectacular images.

  • I'm retouching of images taken on my iPhone 6 more with Photoshop CS6. I'm doing my color correction and add effects and all that. Before you export the image I review and be sure to what I has no more sharpness and the lines are smooth and it looks good

    I'm retouching of images taken on my iPhone 6 more with Photoshop CS6. I'm doing my color correction and add effects and all that. Before you export the image I review and be sure to what I has no more sharpness and the lines are smooth and it looks good overall. I export it to JPEG, max quality with the establishment of reference standards. I then open the image and it seems fine, as it did in photoshop. My problems begin to occur when I try to download on Twitter as my profile picture. I tried downloading from my office directly on the site via google chrome. When I download the image then begins to have jagged edges and overlooks the tablets. So I thought it was some performance settings, then I tweaked them and restarted a couple of times and still the same result. He would go on my desk but when uploaded to twitter as my profile picture is horrible. So I tried emailing the image of myself and the download through my phone. I opened the image on my iphone and it seemed fine as he did on my desktop but when I downloaded the image it makes then look blurry. I had this problem when downloading photos Twitter via my iphone, so it doesn't surprise me. I have read different forums saying: you must download it from the office, so I thought it would work like this. This could be a problem of twitter than compresses uploaded photos? Other people can do very much the same way, but it does not work for me. Please someone help me before I put my computer in an oven microwave.

    This could be a problem of twitter than compresses uploaded photos?

    Yes. The rest, we can answer. You wrote a lot, but very little discussion. Instead of accurate information you lose yourself in the vague descriptions. Screw color management to the wrong dimensions that trigger resizing server-side it could be any number of things here.

  • Problem of color correction between the initial and the multicam sequence... Help, please

    I used three cameras to record a youth dance recital.  I created a sequence of orginal for three camcorders and another sequence using multicam editing dances.  After I finished editing, I went back to the original sequence to do some color correction and adjustment of brightness using the Quick Color Correction controls.  After that, I just sent in again to create a DVD.  When I watched the DVD, I noticed some of my settings were always off, the color correction so I went back to the original sequence to make some changes.  Unfortunately, the multicam sequence would not read the new settings.  After a few unsuccessful attempts to get the element from the sequence multicam to read the original sequence clip, I decided to start by disabling fast Correction of the colors of the clip commands.  The adjusted multicam sequence then return corresponding to the original sequence.  However, when I started a new control for fast Correction of the color in the original sequence, the sequence multicam wouldn't take the new settings.  How to get the sequence mulitcam read the orginal sequence?

    Look for the error of the operator on this one.  Check that you are working in the source used for the multicam sequence.  You can do this by going to the multicam sequence and pressing SHIFT + T.  This will open the original with the ITC on the same chassis.
